I admit that I was dead wrong on this topic as the set went on sale even before it was released. However, my prediction that the Cubs will win a world series this year is a certainty!

Perhaps as others have mentioned on this thread earlier, they set the price high to soften us up for the price it was to settle at. Most of the early talk on this thread was in the 150.00 range. Now I think most people will be thrilled with 200.00 USD price tag instead of disappointed.

All I can say is well played Lego... Well played indeed. (golf clap)

Now, I will need 5 of these pronto...

Great poem Justinain!

I agree with you. LEGO's manipulating us. I'm still not going to buy it. Lower it another fifty and I might, but not at two hundred.
